ITALERI Sd. Kfz. 250/3 (1:72)

Italeri 1/72 Sd.Kfz. 250/3 with 3 Figures # 7034Description: The half-track Sd.Kfz. 250 was widely used by German mechanized troops during the Second World War. Based upon on the technical lay-out of the Sd.Kfz.10 artillery tractor it was intended to be a flexible and reliable solution for integrating infantry and armoured troop movements. The Sd.K... morefz. 250 was armed with either one or two 7.92mm MG34 machine guns and could deploy with a high level of protection a 4-man infantry squad to the battlefield. The operational reliability of the vehicle led to the development of numerous variants one of which was the 250/3 Leichter Funkpanzerwagen (Light Armoured Radio Link Vehicle) used as a radio control nerve centre between forward troops artillery and air support. The Greif used by Erwin Rommel in North Africa as a fully advanced command post in close contact with frontline troops is a noted version.
